Carly Simon’s Starbucks Lawsuit

Carly Simon is throwing a lawsuit at Starbucks who she claims did not represent her well and caused her to lose out on tons of sales.

She decided to promote her new album “This Kind of Love” through Starbucks owned ‘Hear Music’ label.

The singer claims Hear Music didn’t promote her album enough thus causing a major negative impact on sales. Also a price drop didn’t help.

The lawsuit states that by reducing the price “…Starbucks stigmatized Ms. Simon’s album as an album that could not be sold at full price.”

Hear Music said this:

“…(the company) is hopeful that this matter can be resolved in an amicable manner.”

They aren’t backing down against the suit either:

“Unfortunately, sales continued to lag as the title received tepid response from music consumers.”

It sounds like both parties are unsatisfied, usually whoever has the better law team ends up winning these disputes. Since Hear Music sounds like a small company they may have trouble fighting the rich singer on this one.
